1865-1877
Quick Reference to Reconstruction and the Future – 3 pages
Purpose:
·
Again, watch for cause and effect.
Look to see what happens between events.
Notice how long it takes for the Northern public to act after Appomattox and
how much the South does before they act.
·
When
it finally acts, notice how the North uses a combination of the Constitution,
the law, and force (the military in the South).
·
Notice
what happens with the Northern public and the Northern voters cease to act.
·
Notice the laws and the amendments that change your
future not just theirs
·
Although these facts are not on the test (except
the one on the Constitution), notice what the South uses to stop African
Americans from voting and even being safe.
